An Address on Matters and Things from a Wandering Voice
A rambling colonial voice laments social changes and fashions while praising patriotism and frugal living. He reports on street handbills, a torn house timber sale, and a push to curb foreign goods with mockery of revenue debates. He recounts a home arrival, an artist guest, and parish life touches with local newspaper jabs.

It notes sugar is not essential and suggests packing steps for various fruits with syrup or water as specified.

Are the Germans Wrong in SDE our Bonds
An 1850s style polemic argues Germans admire U S bonds, claiming Germans seek millions of American securities while noting British and French criticism. It asserts Americans should trust U S government finances, citing savings and bond profits, and claims Germans judge the nation's strength dispassionately, seeing stable finances and growing population.
